Displays the latest train running information for a particular railway station in the UK, with optional filtering by destination.

New in version 1.1;

- Better performance.
- Offset time e.g. only show me trains leaving 10 minutes from now.
- Configurable gadget size. You can now show between 2-7 trains.
- Swap directions.
- Better support for larger fonts. We know we still have some work to do on this.

For the next release, we’ll look at developing an ‘Arrivals’ feature and improve the support for larger fonts.

A mobile web version of the Live Departure Boards is available here http://pda.ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/en/pj/ld

Brilliant Gadget (3/7/2008)
Who ever made this, they need to be praised. This is the best gadget on the sidebar and its good to find out where the next trains are arriving/departing Nuneaton.

Arrivals feature? (8/12/2007)
This is a great gadget. Should help a lot next time I travel. I often though have friends come to visit me so would it be possible to add an Arrivals feature that lists terminating trains at a station too?

Excellent gadget (5/18/2008)
This is a great little tool. Would be even more usefull if you could have multiple pre-selected departure and arrival stations that you could easily toggle between.

Great Little Gadget. Will be better when arrivals is included for those with multiple connections. (5/1/2008)
I use this all the time at work on my laptop when checking whether trains a running on time and which ones are going to be late for my journey home. Cannot wait until next version is released with arrivals as well. Great Job Conchango and National Rail Enquires.

Easily the best gadget (4/24/2008)
Fantastic tool. Thank you. The new version is far and away the most useful gadget on my desktop. It permits users to view live departures from a station in a few minutes time. Allows a destination station to be set and change the number of trains shown.
